The 1st thing I did when we got home was check on the #alpacas & #sheep.
They had plenty of water & were grazing, but I gave them some lupins & lucerne. Just to be sure.
My better half watered our fruit & vegies. Again, just to be sure.
Then we headed up to #GoGo’s at #Macedon & had a meal at the neighbours eatery.
I had an all day #breakfast & the better half went for #pancakes.
After that - we headed back home for a nap. 🤗
We were invited to go to the opening of a new eatery in #Macedon (GoGo’s café), for #breakfast at 6:30 this morning.
I woke throughout the night, checking the temperature as it went down & down.
When the temp hit -3° Celsius I stopped checking. (There’d have been #BlackIce on the roads & my #asthma would go nuts the second I went outside.)
The new plan is we go there for #lunch today instead. 👍
